Timed power shut-off

[DantheManII]

I have a Presario CQ60 notebook (laptop).  I like to listen to Internet radio when I go to bed at night.  But I don't like my machine running all night after I fall asleep.  Is there a way for me to set a timer that will automatically shut off the unit after a selected amount of time?  Please advise.

Check out this free timer to see if it meets your needs:

Or you can use Windows "Task Scheduler" to configure a shut-down for the same time each night:

Thank you so much for the tip.  I've downloaded the sinvise software and it works!  So far, so good.  Greatly appreciated.
